2020-2021高考英语阅读理解-经典压轴题附详细答案

一、高中英语阅读理解

1．阅读理解

A society that lives by the plastic fork may very well die from it. That's how things are looking. Anyway, for a world so used to disposable(一次性的) habits, any hope for a solution(解决方案) also increasingly seems to be buried.

Sure, there have been some hopeful ideas. Boyan Slat, the Dutch inventor developed a plan for Covering the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Not long after it started, Slat's system experienced "material fatigue(疲劳)"-likely the result of being strained(使受到压力) by all that trash-and the task was delayed.

All the while, the plastic increases. Its growth is very fast, according to Linda Wang, a professor of chemical engineering at Purdue University. She says, "We'll have more plastic than fish by 2050." Yet Wang, along with other researchers at Purdue, may have a solution not only to this plastic problem, but also to the growing need for clean energy. Her team has developed a system that turns waste, a durable, lightweight material that accounts for about a quarter of all plastic waste, into a highly pure form of gasoline.

Publishing their findings in the journal Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering, the scientists' state that instead of making plastic go away, they can break it down and reuse it, using chemistry to destroy what chemistry brought to the world when plastic was developed back in 1907.

The process uses "supercritical" water-heated to around 450 degrees Celsius (842 degrees Fahrenheit),beyond the key point at which distinct liquid and vapor phases(气液态) exist-to boil plastic waste into an oil, the researchers explain. It takes a couple of hours for the supercritical water to complete the transformation, but the result is a kind of oil that can be used as gasoline or fuel. It can also be turned into other products.

The researchers have only made the transformation in a laboratory setting so far, but they suggest turning the process to a commercial scale(规模) may not be far off. And considering the 300 million tons of plastic into the environment every year, that day can't come soon enough. But it will come in time.

（1）Why is the plastic fork mentioned in paragraph 1?

A. To indicate the hopeless future of human life.

B. To figure out the solution to reducing plastics.

C. To show the seriousness of the plastic problem.

D. To tell people to give up an unhealthy lifestyle.

（2）What can we know about Slat's system?

A. It proves harmful to the Pacific.

B. It has been abandoned completely.

C. It has received many people's opposition.

D. It met with difficulty while being carried out.（3）What is the advantage of Wang's system?

A. It can save fish in the ocean.

B. It can recycle and reuse plastic.

C. It can surely lower the prices of gas and fuel.

D. It can make plastic products more affordable.

（4）What is the author's attitude towards Wang's system?

A. Hopeful.

B. Disapproving.

C. Cautious.

D. Uncertain.

【答案】（1）C

（2）D

（3）B

（4）A

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了Linda Wang的新系统，它可以回收利用塑料。

（1）考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“That's how things are looking. Anyway, for a world so used to disposable habits, any hope for a solution also increasingly seems to be buried.”可知，人们习惯了使用像塑料叉子之类的塑料制品，以至于找到解决塑料问题的解决方案的机会很渺茫。由此可推断，文章提到塑料叉子是为了表明塑料问题的严重性。故选C。

（2）考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“Not long after it started，Slat's system experienced' material fatigue likely the result of being strained by all that trash.” 在启动后不久，Slat的系统就经历了“材料疲劳”，这可能是所有垃圾造成的。可推断，Slat的系统在实施的过程中遇到了困难。故选D。

（3）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Yet Wang, along with other researchers at Purdue, may have a solution not only to this plastic problem, but also to the growing need for clean energy. Her team has developed a system that turns waste, a durable, lightweight material that acco unts for about a quarter of all plastic waste, into a highly pure form of gasoline.”然而，王和普渡大学的其他研究人员可能不仅解决了这个塑料问题，而且解决了对清洁能源日益增长的需求。她的团队已经开发出一种系统，可以将废物(一种耐用、重量轻的材料，约占所有塑料废物的四分之一)转化为高纯度的汽油。可知，Wang的系统可以回收利用塑料。故选B。

（4）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“…that day can't come soo n enough. But it will come in time.”那一天来得越早越好。但它迟早会到来。可推断，作者对Wang的系统满怀希望。故选A。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇环保类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。

2．阅读理解

Some things should just be common knowledge by now. The Earth isn't flat. Nope, your hair and nails don't grow after you die. The holes at the top of Bic biro pens are there so that, if you swallow one accidentally, you can still breathe and won't choke to death. It's debatable whether that last one there is common knowledge or not. A quick Google search of the fact, rewritten as a question, shows articles addressing this point going back several years, with the latest (re)appearing just this week over on ScienceAlert. We suppose it's one of those things that come up from time to time, like what would happen if you attack Yellowstone with a nuclear weapon (not much, as it turns out).

If you jump over to Bic's website, under their FAQs (frequently asked questions), it quite clearly states: "The reason that some BIC? pens have a hole in their cap is to prevent the cap from completely obstructing the airway if accidentally breathed in. This is requested by the international safety standards ISO11540, except for in cases where the cap is considered too large to be a choking risk."

That's rather lovely of them. In appreciation of their want to not kill off their more clumsy customers, we thought we'd share a few more random facts about Bic that are probably going to come up in a pub quiz one day. Did you know, for example, that each Bic ballpoint pen can produce at least 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) of ink before it begins to run out? In fact, in 2018, 7,250 kilometers (4,505 miles) of writing tests on such pens were carried out on ballpoint pens, gel pens(中性笔), and rollers to make sure they worked to the highest standard.

The best part of the Bic site, however, is this rather curious fact: "100 percent of pen balls are made through a highly-controlled process." As opposed to a highly uncontrolled process, involving explosions and bouncy castles and total chaos, we suppose.

（1）Why does the author mention the case of Yellowstone?

A. To list the facts.

B. To prove his point.

C. To compare the two situations.

D. To emphasize the importance of safety.

（2）What does the underlined word "obstructing" in paragraph 2 mean?

A. Block.

B. Open.

C. Transform.

D. Narrow.

（3）Why were the writing tests on pens carried out?

A. To work out their lifespan.

B. To assure their good quality.

C. To prove some random facts.

D. To compare different pens with each other.（4）In what tone does the author develop the text?

A. Critical.

B. Acid.

C. Humorous.

D. Serious.

【答案】（1）B

（2）A

（3）B

（4）C

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，毕克笔的笔帽上有一个小孔是为了防止那些粗心的使用者不小心吞下而窒息死亡。这真是粗心使用者的生命通道。

（1）考查推理判断。毕克笔的笔帽上留一个小孔的原因，且这个问题会被偶尔问到，就像如果你用核武器攻击黄石公园会发生什么事这个问题一样，作者是在举例证明他的观点，故选B。

（2）考查词义猜测。此处意为当使用者不慎把笔帽吞下时，笔帽上的小孔就是为了阻止笔帽完全阻塞气管而引起窒息，故选A。

（3）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"In fact, in 2018, 7,250 kilometers (4,505 miles) of writing tests on such pens were carried out on ballpoint pens, gel pens(中性笔), and rollers to make sure they worked to the highest standard."可知，举行书写测试的目的是为了确保笔能够达到最高的标准，故选B。

（4）考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"Some things should just be common knowledge by

now. The Earth isn't flat. Nope, your hair and nails don't grow after you die. "和第三段中的"That's rather lovely of them. In appreciation of their want to not kill off their more clumsy customers"等作者的行文措辞可知，作者笔调轻松幽默，故选C。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇科普类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。

4．阅读理解

Being forgiving to yourself and others can protect against stress and the harm it does to mental health, according to a new study in the Journal of Health Psychology.

Researchers looked at the effects of lifetime stress on a person's mental health, and how more forgiving people got along compared with people who weren't so forgiving. To do this, they asked 148 young adults to fill out questionnaires that assessed their levels of lifetime stress, their tendency to forgive and their mental and physical health.

No surprise, people with greater exposure to stress had worse mental and physical health. But the researchers also discovered that if people were highly forgiving of both themselves and others, that characteristic alone almost removed the connection between stress and mental illness.

"It's almost entirely erased—it's zero," says study author Toussaint. "If you don't have forgiving tendencies, you feel the immediate effects of stress in a severe way. You don't have anything to cushion you against that stress."

How a forgiving personality protects a person from the influence of severe stress is hard to determine. The researchers infer that people who are more forgiving may adopt better skills to deal with stress, or their reaction to major stressors(压力源)may be slow.

Though more research is needed to fully understand the benefits of being more forgiving, Toussaint believes"100％"that forgiveness can be learned. His own previous research has shown that saying a short prayer on forgiveness can help people take the edge off. "I think most people want to feel good and forgiveness offers you the opportunity to do that," he says.

（1）The researchers got the effect of forgiving by_____.

A. analyzing questionnaires

B. doing scientific experiment

C. writing research papers

D. communicating with 148 adults

（2）What can we infer from the passage?

A. Forgiving tendencies can deal with all mental problems.

B. It remains unknown why forgiveness helps to reduce stress.

C. Toussaint's study has fully discovered the benefits of being forgiving.

D. Saying a short prayer on forgiveness is the key to getting rid of stress.

（3）What does the underlined phrase "take the edge off' in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. Look ahead.

B. Become relaxed.

C. Make up their mind.

D. Stick to their goals.

（4）What may be the best title for the passage?

A. A new study on physical health

B. Forgiving yourself makes you feel good

C. Forgiveness is good for mental health

D. Getting rid of stress is good for your health

【答案】（1）A

（2）B

（3）B

（4）C

【解析】【分析】研究发现拥有一颗宽容的心，能减少焦虑和压力，让人心理健康。

（1）细节理解题。根据文章第二段的To do this, they asked 148 young adults to fill out questionnaires that assessed their levels of lifetime stress，可知，为了弄明白真相，研究人员

让148个人填写了问卷调查，即他们是通过研究问卷调查来得出宽容的影响，故选A项。（2）推理判断题。根据文章第五段的How a forgiving personality protects a person from the influence of severe stress is hard to determine. 可知目前很难确定宽容是如何防止人们不受严

重压力的伤害，故推断宽容可以减少压力的原因是未知的，故选B项。

（3）词义猜测题。根据画线部分下文的I think most people want to feel good and forgiveness offers you the opportunity to do that可知宽容能让人感觉良好，故推测画线部分

所在句子意思是：说一个和宽容相关的祷言能让人感觉良好。故划线部分的意思和"感觉良好"接近，故选B项。

（4）主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段为主题段，根据文章第一段的Being forgiving to yourself and others can protect against stress and the harm it does to mental health,可知本文主

When Shakespeare was twenty-one, he went to London, a very interesting place, to try his fortune.

There was the famous London Bridge and St. Paul's Cathedral, and palaces and markets and long streets full of shops.

Then, too, there were the daily crowds where could be seen people from all over the world. Knights, scholars and the highwayman (拦路强盗）or thieves, who had been infamous for their clever robberies, passed by each other.

Here, also, were noblemen dressed in gold, from Italy and Spain and France; slaves from Spanish America, sea captains and ministers, soldiers and servants—all held by chances or interests within the gray walls which circled London, and whose gates gave welcome to as strange a crowd as could be found in the world.

Into this curious crowd came Shakespeare, quick to see and eager to learn. And before long all these strange sights were as familiar to him as the faces of his own town's residents. Each one told its story to him so plainly that, as before he had learned the secrets of the fields and woods, so now he learned men and men's interests that make up the great world.

And he learned these lessons so well that when he came to write his plays, he made such use of them as no writer ever made before or since; for it is the use of this knowledge of the world, combined with his own genius, that makes Shakespeare the greatest dramatist that has ever lived.（1）What was London like in Shakespeare's eyes when he first went there?

A. Dirty and small.

B. Strange and interesting.

C. Infamous and terrible.

D. Familiar and modern.

（2）Which of the following best describes Shakespeare?

A. Shakespeare got inspiration to write from his hometown, London.

B. Shakespeare was eager to make friends with the noblemen in London.

C. Shakespeare was good at observing and learning from the daily life.

D. Shakespeare became the greatest dramatist owing to his own genius.

（3）What does the word "one" in paragraph 5 refer to?

A. Crowd.

B. Resident.

C. Face.

D. Sight.

（4）The passage probably comes from______.

A. a poster

B. a textbook

7．阅读理解

When I was small, my mother and I would walk to our local library in Franklin Square. As we didn't always have access to a reliable car, walking hand in hand was the most convenient way to get anywhere. It was at story time for children that both my mother and I made lasting friendships.

Today, I am fortunate to live around the corner from the Cold Coast Public Library in Glen Head and a short walk to the Sea Cliff Children's Library. My 18-imonth-old son, Colin, and I find ourselves in Sea Cliff several times a week, meeting and making friends. Well, that is what many people don't understand-a library is more than books; it's a community.

Sure, the library in Franklin Square was the place where I was introduced to Judy Blume novels. But it was also the place where I got my first email address in 1997. At the library, friends and I learned how to research colleges and search for scholarships on the Internet. The library was the place where we sometimes giggled(咯咯笑)too loudly, and where the librarians knew us by name. Their knowing our names wasn't a bad thing. When I came home from my first term at Binghamton University, Mary LaRosa, the librarian at the Franklin Square library, offered me my first teaching job.

I now teach reading at Nassau Community College. My students are often amazed that they can check out books via their smartphones and virtually(虚拟地)visit a variety of Long Island libraries. The app used by Nassau and Suffolk county public libraries, as well as the college library, makes their homework easier by helping them find resources. Even though they can't always easily visit their local libraries, the library is always with them.

（1）Why does the author consider herself lucky today?

A. She has become her mother's best friend.

B. She has access to a reliable car now.

C. She can meet friends at the library.

D. She lives close to libraries.

（2）What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Socializing in a library.

B. Reading books in a library.

C. Visiting a library with a family member.

D. Building parent-child friendship in a library.（3）What is the author's attitude to her students' way of visiting libraries?

A. Cautious.

B. Favorable.

C. Doubtful.

D. Disapproving.

（4）Why does the author write the text?

A. To discuss why libraries are important.

B. To express her deep love for libraries.

C. To explain how libraries change.

D. To introduce her favorite libraries.

A typical child plays many roles, such as friend, neighbor, son or daughter. Simply reminding children of that fact can lead to better problem-solving and more flexible thinking, according to new research from Duke University.

Better problem-solving was just one positive finding of the study, said lead author Sarah Gaither, an assistant professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke. After thinking about their own various identities, children also showed more flexible thinking about race and other social groupings—a behavior that could be valuable in an increasingly diverse society.

In a series of experiments, Gaither and her colleagues looked at 196 children, ages 6 and 7. In an experiment, one group of children was reminded that they had various identities, such as son, daughter, reader or helper. A second group of children was reminded of their multiple physical attributes, such as a mouth, arms and legs. All the children then needed to handle a few tasks

Children who were reminded of their various identities showed stronger problem-solving and creative thinking skills. When shown pictures of a bear staring at honey-filled beehive(蜂窝)high

up in a tree, these children had more creative ideas for how the bear might get the honey, such as turning over a bowl so that it became a stool(凳子). In other words, they saw a new use for the bowl. Children who were reminded of their multiple roles also showed more flexible thinking about social groupings. When asked to categorize different photos of faces, they suggested many ways to Spso. They identified smiling faces such as unsmiling ones, and old and young faces. The other children, meanwhile, primarily grouped people's faces by race and gender(性别).

The-study suggests ways to promote flexible thinking for the young, which could be especially valuable for teachers." Gaither said.

"We have this tendency in our society to only think about ourselves in connection with one important group at a time," Gaither said. "When kids think that they have various identities, they show greater abilities."

（1）What are all the kids asked to do in the experiments?

A.Play different kinds of roles.

B.Remind others of their roles.

C.Approach several tasks.

D.Classify a group of tasks.

（2）How does the author mainly clarify the conclusions of the study in paragraph 4?

A.By giving examples.

B.By using experts' words.

C.By listing a few figures.

D.By showing cause and effect.

（3）What can we learn from Sarah Gaither's words?

A.Improving 5 kids flexible thinking ability is important teaching.

B.Kids tend to behave selflessly after thinking about their roles.

C.Kids' creative thinking ability is easy to discover and develop.

D.Teachers are supposed to make the most of the kids' flexibility.

（4）What is the best title for the text?

A.Kids' Social Abilities Are Consistent with. Their Education.

As winter set in, it's the perfect time to get out of town and escape the seasonal mood disorder. Here are vacation ideas to adopt now.

Costa Rica

Costa Rica, located in the Valle del General, is an off-the-radar agriculture town that's not overrun with tourists. The area is known for its coffee, pineapples and sugar cane plantations, as well as its rich forests. What's more, you can enjoy horseback riding, spend afternoons at the spa or tour a nearby wildlife shelter to look out for colorful birds, sloths and other animals.

Los Cabos, Mexico

If you love wine, travel to Los Cabos, a beautiful vacation destination at the southern edge of the Baja Peninsula.

People have grown taller over the last century, with South Korean women shooting up by more than 20cm on average, and Iranian men gaining 16.5cm. A global study looked at the average height of 18-year-olds in 200 countries between 1914 and 2014.

The results show that while Swedes were the tallest people in the world in 1914, Dutch men have risen from 12th place to claim top spot with an average height of 182.5cm. Latvian women, meanwhile, rose from 28th place in 1914 to become the tallest in the world a century later, with an average height of 169.8cm.

James Bentham, a co-author of the research from Imperial College, London, says the global trend is likely to be due to improvements in nutrition and healthcare. "An individual's genetics has a big influence on their height, but once you average over whole populations, genetics plays a less key role," he added.

A little extra height brings a number of advantages, says Elio Riboli of Imperial College. "Being taller is associated with longer life expectancy," he said. "This is largely due to a lower risk of dying of cardiovascular(心血管的)disease among taller people."

But while height has increased around the world, the trend in many African countries causes concern, says Riboli. While height increased in Uganda and Niger during the early 20th century, the trend has reversed in recent years, with height decreasing among 18-year-olds.

"One reason for these decreases in height is the economic situation in the 1980s,"said

Alexander Moradi of the University of Sussex. The nutritional and health crises that followed the policy of structural adjustment, he says, led to many children and teenagers failing to reach their full potential(潜力)in terms of height.

Bentham believes the global trend of increasing height has important implications "How tall we are now is strongly influenced by the environment we grew up in," he said. "If we give children the best possible start in life now, they will be healthier and more productive for decades to come."

（1）What does the global study tell us about people's height in the last century?

A. The increase in people's height has been quickening.

B. The increase in women's height is bigger than in men's.

C. There is a remarkable difference across continents.

D. There has been a noticeable increase in most countries.

（2）What does Elio Riboli say about taller people?

A. They enjoy an easier life.

B. They tend to live longer.

C. They risk fewer deadly diseases.

D. They have greater expectations in life.

（3）What does the underlined word "reversed" in Paragraph 5 mean?

A. Slowed down.

B. Gone upwards.

C. Changed to the contrary.

D. Come to life again.（4）What does James Bentham suggest we do?

A. Ensure children's proper nutrition and healthcare.

B. Improve the economic situation of some countries.

C. Watch the global trend of increasing height closely.

D. Attach great importance to environmental protection.

An experimental cleanup device called RemoveDEBRIS has successfully cast a net around a dummy (仿真的) satellite, imitating a technique that could one day collect spaceborne garbage. The test, which was carried out this week, is widely believed to be the first successful demonstration of space cleanup technology, experts told CNN. And it symbolizes an early step toward solving what has already been a critical issue: junk in space.

Millions of pieces of junk are turning around in orbit the result of 50 years of space travel and few regulations to keep space clean. At orbital speeds, even a small bit of paint crashing with a satellite can cause critical damage.

Various companies have plans to send thousands of new satellites into low-Earth orbit, already the most crowded area.

The RemoveDEBRIS experiment is run by a company and researchers led by the U. K.'s Surrey Space Center and includes Airbus, Airbus-owned Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. and France's ArianeGroup.

Guglielmo Aglietti, the director of Surrey Space Center, said that an operational version of the RemoveDEBRlS technology would cast a net that remains fastened to the main satellite so the debris can be dragged out of orbit. It could target large pieces of junk, including dead satellites up to 10 meters long.

The RemoveDEBRIS satellite will conduct a few more experiments in the coming months, including testing navigation features that could help guide the satellite to a specific piece of debris.

Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, said the success of this week's experiment was exciting, but he cautioned against "over- publicizing" it. There are still enormous barriers to clear before operational cleanup tasks are underway, he said, and the most discouraging is figuring out how to fund such projects.

Aglietti, the Surrey professor who helped lead the RemoveDEBRIS project, said "The challenge will lie in persuading the relevant authorities to sponsor these tasks." Aglietti said he hopes RemoveDEBRIS will conduct a few cleanup tasks per year, targeting the largest pieces of junk in the most crowded orbits.

（1）What is the use of the RemoveDEBRIS satellite?

A. Demonstrating space technology.

B. Imitating a developing technique.

C. Collecting wastes existing in space.

D. Symbolizing great progress in space.

（2）How does the RemoveDEBRlS satellite work?

A. By throwing a net to take the junk from orbit.

B. By fastening it to the main satellite tightly.

C. By dragging satellites up to 10 meters long.

D. By targeting large pieces of junk carefully.

（3）What does the underlined word "sponsor" in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Accomplish. B. Support. C. Oppose. D. Provide.

（4）What's the best title for the text?

A. The RemoveDEBRIS Project Is Perfect

B. How RemoveDEBRIS Is Invented in the Lab

C. Why the RemoveDEBRIS Satellite Is Invented

D. Satellite Collects Space Junk for the First Time

【答案】（1）C

13．阅读理解

If American waterways had ever been voted on the yearbook, the Buffalo River could easily have been named Ugliest. It could be hard to find hope there. It took decades for public perception of the river to shift. But activist citizens, who collaborated with industry, government, and environment groups never gave up on their polluted river—the Buffalo River gradually went from being considered a lost cause to a place worth fighting for. And by now the cleaned—up water is one of Buffalo'S biggest attractions.

By the 1960s, the river was seen as one of the worst sources of pollution pouring into the Great Lakes. The Buffalo River had caught fire many times. The surface had an oily layer, and any fish caught there were not eatable.

The waterway's fate started shifting in the mid-1960s. Stanley Spisiak was a local Polish—American jeweler by day, but by evening he was the kind of guy who'd chase down dumpers(垃圾车)he spotted on the Buffalo River. By 1966 he found himself winning the National Wildlife Federation's "Water Conservationist of the Year" award. And before long he got a nickname:" Mr. Buffalo River. "But there was only so much he could do—the river was still declared biologically dead in 1969.

Jill Spisiak Jedlicka is his great-grandniece. She picks up where he left off by directing the river's protector organization, Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper. Professor Schneekloth and seven friends founded the organization as an all-volunteer nonprofit in 1989, after organizing the first river cleanup that year. Today the group employs 27 full-time workers and has helped oversee the Buffalo River's $100 million restoration.

So far, the Buffalo River's water quality has restored, but it is still an ongoing issue, as sewage(污水)can overflow into the river after storms. Habitat restoration continues as well; fish and plantings are still being sampled to measure how well it's gone.

（1）What did the Buffalo River use to be?

A. A waterway on the yearbook.

B. A river heavily polluted.

C. A great attraction of Buffalo's.

D. A place worth fighting for.

（2）Why was Mr.Spisiak named "Mr. Buffalo River"?

A. Because his fate shifted in the 1 960s.

B. Because he spotted dumpers on the River.

C. Because he spared no efforts to protect the river.

D. Because the river was declared biologically dead.

（3）How long did it take for the river to restore?

A. More than half a century.

B. Just four decades.

C. About 30 years.

D. Only 27 years.（4）What can be a suitable title for this text?

A. The restoration of the Buffalo River

B. Stanley Spisiak: The "Mr.Buffalo River"

C. The future of the Buffalo River

D. River protection: A long way to go

【答案】（1）B

（2）C

（3）A

（4）A

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了被污染的the Buffalo River的恢复。

（1）考查细节理解。根据第一段中的”never gave up on their polluted river—the Buffalo River gradually went from being considered a lo st cause to a place worth fighting for.“；第二段中的”By the 1960s，the river was seen as one of the worst sources of pollution pouring into the Great Lakes. The Buffalo River had caught fire many times. The surface had an oily layer，and any fish caught there were not eatable.“可知，the Buffalo River过去是一条被严重污染的河。故选B。

（2）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的”Stanley Spisiak was a local Polish—American jeweler by day，but by evening he was the kind of guy who'd chase down dumpers(垃圾车)he spotted on the Buffalo River. By 1966 he found himself winning the National Wildlife Federation's "Water Conservationist of the Year"award. And before long he got a nickname: ‘Mr. Buffalo River.’"可知，Mr. Spisiak被称为“Mr.Buffalo River”是因为他不遗余力地保护这条河。故选C。

（3）考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“It took decades for public perception of t he river to shift.”公众对这条河的看法改变花了几十年的时间；第二段中的“By the 1960s，the river was seen as one of the worst sources of pollution pouring into the Great Lakes.”到了20世纪60年代，这条河被认为是五大湖最严重的污染源之一。；以及最后一段中的“So far，the Buffalo River's water quality has restored，”到目前为止，布法罗河的水质已经恢复”可知，这条河花了多半个世纪才恢复。故选A。

（4）考查主旨大意。第一段和第二段说明了the Buffalo River严重受污染的情况，第三、四段介绍了为改变污染状况所做的努力，以及最后一段中的“So far，the Buffalo River's water quality has restored，but it is still an ongoing issue，as sewage(污水)can overflow into the river after storms. Habitat restoration continues as well；fish and plantings are still being sampled to measure how well it's gone.”是其现状。综上可知，本文讲述的是被污染的the Buffalo River的恢复。故选A。

高考英语阅读理解专项训练100篇(附答案)

高考英语阅读理解专项训练100篇 (名师传授解题技巧+实战练习，值得下载) 一、阅读理解解题技巧 阅读理解题是考查学生对活的语言材料的理解能力，即通过阅读材料获得信息的能力。具体说来，阅读理解能力测试的主要要求是：（1）掌握所读材料的主旨大意，以及用以说明主旨大意的事实和细节；（2）既理解具体事实，也理解抽象的概念；（3）既理解字面意思，也理解深层含义，包括作者的态度、意图等；（4）既理解某句、某段的意义，也理解全篇的逻辑关系，并能根据文章进行推理和判断；（5）既能根据材料所提供的信息去理解，也能结合中学生应有的常识去理解。根据这几项能力测试的要求，试题中常采用如下几种题型：事实询问题、推理判断题、数据推算题、识图解意题和主旨大意题。根据这一测试要求和题型设计，答题时可以采取如下解题技巧和对策。 1．首先解题时要充满自信。由于平时有些同学对做阅读理解时存在一种畏惧心理，因此考试做题时心理就难免会产生紧张感，特别是阅读时再遇到几个生词就头脑发胀，从而使自己的思路更加模糊不清。其实这是完全没有必要的，因为阅读中遇到几个生词或几个难以理解的句子是常有的事，也是正常现象。因为按大纲要求，试卷中允许有不超过3%的生词，只要认真分析，仔细阅读，这些生词和句子很可能并不影响你的解题。所以答题之前首先要有必胜的信心。 2．扫读全文，理解全文主旨大意。拿到一篇文章，首先要快速扫读全文，虽为扫读，但不可漫不经心，阅读时也应聚精会神，力求可能多地获取材料信息，只是这次遇到生词和难句先不必去处理，不要因纠缠文中的个别生词和难句而影响了对全文的主旨大意的了解。

3．对症下药，各个击破。了解全文的大概意思之后，再把短文的问题简单看一遍，弄懂题意，然后带着问题再去寻读全文。这次阅读过程中要善于抓文章中的关键词句。寻读也就是迅速的查找需要了解的信息，是为某些特定的问题而阅读，因此阅读时要有较强的针对性，对与问题有关的数据，词句等仔细阅读，认真理解，同时结合不同考查内容的题型，采取如下解题对策： （1）事实询问题：这类试题通常是以疑问词what，who，when，where，why，how 等引起的特殊问句，就文章中某一词语、某一句子、某一段落或某一具体细节和事实进行提问。解答此类试题首先要弄清题目和每一个选项的含义，然后按题目要求寻找与之相关的细节，正确估计答案来源，同时注意题目和文章中的暗示作用。特别注意辨别各种信息，确认各种信息。 （2）推理判断题：此题要求我们通过表面文字信息去推测文章隐含的意思，对文章的发展情节及作者的态度、意图等做出合乎逻辑的的推理判断。这种题要求我们在阅读时要抓住文章的主题和细节、从分析文章的结构入手，根据上下文的内在联系，充分挖掘文章的深层含义。对暗含在文章中事件的因果关系，人物的动机，以及作者未言明的倾向、态度、意图、观点进行合乎逻辑的推理、分析和判断。同时善于抓住文中实质性的东西，不要被带假象的表面信息或似是而非的东西所迷惑。并且注意推断作者态度时要力求从作者的态度、观点去思考，切勿想当然，凭个人的观点习惯看法来回答的问题。 （3）数据推算题：此题要求我们就文章提供的数据，以及数据与文章中其他信息的关系做出计算和推断，然后做出选择。这就要求我们解题时，要在理解好题意的前提下去对与数据有关的信息认真分析，若数据信息较多，还要注意弄清数据之间的关系，同时分清有用与无用信息，最终作出正确判断。 （4）主旨大意题：此题用以考查我们对文章主题或中心思想的领会和理解能力。在解答此类试题时要注意每段的中心句，抓住每一段的主题句。一般主题句都用来表达一段主旨大意，因此，只要找准每段的主题句，文章的中心思想和文章的最佳标题也就不难确定了。

语文经典阅读题及答案 我等过你 鲍尔吉?原野 (1)这几年，我的心境与詹姆斯?拉斯特乐队的曲子很贴切。这成了生活中可以称为幸福的事情之一。我听了他的几十张唱片，聆听时怀着憧憬与犹疑，听过已在心里装下充实，像从森林里归来的孩子兜里揣满松果一样。 (2)人与音乐的契合，委实是可遇而不可求的难事。作曲家与演奏家从来都是独裁者，按他们自己的方式诠释生活与哲理。听者只能用声音——唯一的传导符号来体味它背后的无限丰富。当然，伟大的音乐家——让自己的作品引起大多数人共鸣的音乐家——也由此诞生。风烛残年的贝多芬，耳朵全聋了，仍执意指挥《第九交响曲》。这是令乐人们为难的事，又得配合。贝多芬眼盯着乐谱，手臂僵舞，他的耳朵里静悄悄的。乐人们小心地瞟他的手势，他们明知贝氏听不见，但生怕拉错一个音符。乐曲结束了，全场掌声潮起。穿着燕尾服的维也纳人起立鼓掌，眼里漾着热泪。他们尤为结尾《欢乐颂》这一为人类祈祷的乐思所感染。贝多芬却依旧木然。女高音卡洛琳?婉格只好以不大礼貌的方式，抓住他的衣袖，指一指观众席。风湿蹒跚的老贝慢慢转过身来，认真地睽视着观众少顷，尔后鞠躬致谢。 (3)还是回到詹姆斯?拉斯特。说到贝多芬，我会总有一种冲动，像说到苏格拉底这样的圣徒一样。我只想说，他们作品的伟大，像辘辘把的绳子一圈挨一圈致密绕在人格的圆木上。詹姆斯?拉斯特没有贝多芬那么伟大，至少现在还没有人这样说。他只是一个乐队的组织者和指挥家。他所做的是把所有好的音乐作品加以改编，从古典乐曲片段到流行电影插曲。在编配与气质上，使之具有独一无二的詹姆斯?拉斯特的风格。

(4)他是通俗乐队，但本质上却很古典，典雅悠然，富于沉思。在詹姆斯?拉斯特那里，无论是对往昔的回顾，对世事的前瞻，都与我的心性契合——那是一种漫不经心的中庸之美，没有令人眼湿的激情。譬如说描写爱情，其感人处如脚下激起的细碎浪花，瞬间变幻而消隐，耳畔更多的是潮音与涛声，却没有兜头的狂澜。 (5)在照片上，詹姆斯?拉斯特，这位德国不来梅的老头，灰白的金发很长，唇髭整齐，下颏的胡须剪得很好看，古铜色的脸膛上永远带着宁静明朗的笑。这个我心中默默信赖的人，他使我这个没有受过很好音乐教育的人，渐渐理解了许多西方古典乐曲，得以同大师进行儿童与巨人式的沟通。我感谢他。 (6)听老詹。在他的曲子里，我悟出典雅、开阔与不避俗亦为文章之道。在这些纷纷如落叶的乐声里，我寂寞地写着自己的文章。许多时候，环顾左右，也只有老詹的乐声相伴。 (7)还能说什么呢?南非诗人乔科写道：“我只能说——我等过你。” (选自《掌心化雪》，有改动) 1.文章开篇说“这几年，我的心境与詹姆斯?拉斯特乐队的曲子很贴切”，从全文来看，这种“贴切”具体而言是针对什么来说的?(3分) 2.文章用了为数不少的文字表现贝多芬，分析作者这样写的用意。(6分)

（英语）高三英语阅读理解解析版汇编 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 In America, parents tend to encourage their children to develop their potential (潜能) to the fullest extent. Fathers and mothers frequently teach their children both ambition and the confidence necessary to work toward their goals. American parents are always active in concentrating on what their kids can do, not what they can't. As a result, millions of American boys and girls grow up hoping to become actors and athletes, diplomats and doctors. Many of them even want to become president. American parents often encourage their children to become involved in extra activities of all types at school, such as student government, sports and music. They believe that only through taking part in these activities can their children become mature young adults. As we all know, school work is important. But parents should realize that the social skills their children learn from natural conversations with each other are as important as schoolwork and the skills they will need in the future work. What's more important in their work is that their children should have a sound knowledge of physics or the ability to communicate effectively. As a rule, Chinese parents don't educate their children about the same kind of ambition and confidence as Americans do, nor do they encourage the same level of participation in extra activities. Children are typically advised to study hard and pass exams. They have to spend a lot of time in doing much schoolwork every day. It is a great waste of time to do so. Now more and more Chinese parents have recognized that they should pay attention to developing the potential of their children. I hope that leaders in Chinese educational circles should take some measures to develop the potential of their children. I am very confident about it. （1）From the passage, we know the American parents pay much more attention to . A. the social skills than Chinese parents B. their children's studying hard and well C. what their children want but they can't D. extra activities than schoolwork （2）According to the passage, Chinese parents . A. know more than American parents to educate their children B. owning ambition and confidence is necessary and important C. pay much more attention to their children's fine future D. don't encourage their children to participate in extra activities （3）From the passage, we can infer . A. American children are brave and adventurous B. American children are more active in their studies C. Chinese children have the ability to communicate effectively D. something should be done to develop the potential of the children in China （4）What's the writer's attitude towards Chinese education reform? A. Neutral. B. Indifferent. C. Positive. D. Negative. 【答案】（1）A

(英语)高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案

（英语）高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 The setting was a packed gymnasium just before the start of a game against another school. There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team—all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach's decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little community that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness. While the school had been out for the New Year's holiday, the five girls had gone to the party with several of their friends. There was alcohol there. And they all drank some. Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn't back down on her rules. And the players—two junior students and three senior students—agreed. That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach's decision. “We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. What we did was definitely not worth it. We hope this event will make everyone realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our community,” one of the senior students said, “And if you work with us to try to solve this problem, you will help us feel that we have not been thrown off our basketball team for nothing.” The five left the floor to deafening applause. The team may not win another game this year. But they've learnt something about personal responsibility, the effect of one's action on others, and honesty that will serve them well throughout life. （1）It can be inferred from the passage that the five girls who were kicked off the team were ________. A. very good players on the team B. addicted to alcohol and drugs C. three junior students and two senior students D. scolded by their parents for drinking alcohol （2）What did the girls do to support their coach's decision? A. They didn't fight for Danville High School any more. B. They all gave speeches to apologize in the local press. C. They admitted their mistake in public in the gymnasium. D. They would never drink any alcohol throughout their life. （3）Which word best describes the coach Rainville? A. Indifferent. B. Strict. C. Stubborn. D. Cruel. （4）Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Growing up with pain B. A bad mistake C. Team rules are everything D. Basketball girls in high school 【答案】（1）A

我爱水，所以我爱大海，爱长江，也爱小溪流。但是，我最爱的还是湖。 静静的湖，像是一块无瑕的翡翠，在阳光的照耀下，闪烁着美丽的光泽。 我喜欢独自一个人坐在湖畔，看着平静的湖面幻想。我想湖中一定有一个明亮的水晶宫，那是鱼儿的家园，不然它们怎么整天那么欢乐？水晶宫里一定有一块巨大的、发光的翡翠，不然湖水为什么会绿得这么美？我凝视湖面，偶尔投一枚石子，让它激起一道道波纹；或是放一只纸船，让它随着湖波飘荡。 静静的湖是可爱的，但雨中的湖更动人。 细丝般的雨丝飘下来，不停地织啊织，织出湖——这块绿色的“锦”。“锦”上无穷无尽的圆环，像美丽的姑娘绣出的朵朵鲜花。 雷雨到来时的湖真热闹。你看，天空中一道道亮光，那是开幕的礼花上了天。你听，“轰轰”，礼炮响了，大会就开始了。等大雨一落，联欢会立刻开始。你看到湖面上朵朵竞相开放的雨花了吗？那是正在翩翩起舞的金色姑娘头上的玉花。你想知道节目是否精彩吗？那“哗哗”的雷鸣般的“掌声”会把一切都告诉你。 湖是美的…… 1、给短文加上题目,写在横线上。 2、用“——”画出文中的过渡句。用“～～”画出文中前后照应的句子。 3、作者从哪几方面描写了雨中湖的什么特点？ 4、文中的“礼花”指的是，“礼炮”指的是，“玉花”指的是，“掌声”指的是。 解题指导： 新大纲明确要求：语文课程应“指导学生正确理解和运用祖国语文，丰富语言的积累，培育语感，发展思维”。如何让学生学会分析文章，领悟主要精神？一是读懂短文，知道短文讲的主要内容，作者所要表达的情感； 二是指导学生抓住短文的开头和结尾，因为一般人用文字表达思想的时候总喜欢把最为重要的东西放在开头和结尾，诸如开场白、压轴戏； 三是掌握常用的修辞手法。 四是抓住短文的关键句子，进行分析，以便更好地把握文章的内容。 五是回答问题，答题要简单明了，答案要紧扣题目要求。

高三英语阅读理解(带详解)

I watched from a distance as the homeless man quarreled with those who did not leave money for him – the majority. I walked up to him and right on queue he asked me for a quarter. ―I’ll give you a quarter if you tell me your story.‖ He laughed, ―You’ll give me a quarter for my story?‖ I lay the quarter in front of him and corrected myself –―Nah, here’s the quarter but it would be nice to hear your story.‖ I followed his eyes to the quarter and for a brief moment I saw a glimmer of reflection. I sat down next to him and waited. ―I was in the army,‖ he said. ―I was a sniper(狙击手)and was supposed to shoot down the enemy from the distance.‖ I listened carefully to his grizzly voice as he went deeper into the story. He wore dirty old torn clothes and smelled like a dead rat left in a mouse trap. He told me how he used to hunt with his family and was really good at it. He had his own way of respecting animals by not wasting what he killed for food and not killing more than he needed. When the army came knocking on his door, he felt pride and joined up. All those years of polishing his hunting skills could now serve a larger purpose—to defend us from the bad guys. He set out to fight in Iraq. It wasn’t long before he realized his ideals and expectations were just a shadow of the truth. He became disillusioned with the killings, which he felt were of innocent people. ―I was a sniper but I never really killed anyone,‖ he said. ―One day I had to do it. They asked me to shoot this lady from the distance. I saw kids near that lady and my hands were on the trigger (扳机). Man, I was tearing up ... I couldn’t do it. She wasn’t doing anything to anyone and she was with the kids—I couldn’t see through my tears. It just didn’t make any sense to me.‖ The story goes on as he describes eventually being put into prison for 180 days for refusing to follow orders. He told me how he was black listed so that he couldn’t get a job. All the rights we take for granted were taken away from him. Why? Here was a man who was being punished—and for what? For refusing to kill the lady? For being a hero? ―I have no regrets,‖ the homeless man said. ―I may be homeless now, but I never killed that lady. I never killed anyone in the army. It didn’t feel right. I didn’t go there to do that. I went there to save people.‖ He continued, ―I can live with being homeless—that’s okay. But I wouldn’t be able to live with killing innocent people.‖ On that lonely Friday night, I met a hero. It just never occurred to me that a hero could be a smelly old man left on streets. 1. It can be learned from the passage that the homeless man_______. （） A. never killed animals B. had a strong respect for life C. deserved the punishment he received D. felt guilty about disobeying the order

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world. Westerners' understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage(针灸，拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U. S. swimmer Michael Phelps，back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016. As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs. Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients (原材料) jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs. Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou's winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria (疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time. （1）Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps? A. Because he was injured in his swimming. B. Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment. C. Because westerners know a little about TCM. D. Because westerners attach great importance to TCM. （2）Why don't some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine? A. Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases. B. Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture. C. Because Western medicine is more effective. D. Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly. （3）Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4? A. The methods of planting herbs. B. The effectiveness of prescription. C. Lacking in standardization. D. Its stable functions.

心中的芦苇 记忆中，有一片茂密的芦苇。她像自由的精灵，在远离世俗的淡泊中，独守江畔一方瘠土，筛风弄月，潇洒倜傥。瘦瘦的筋骨把生命的诗意一缕缕地挑亮，密密的芦花像一片片灿烂的微笑，将野地的清苦和宁静浓缩成亘古的沉默，醉倒了金风，醉倒了诗人。仿佛是王维的山水诗，寻不出现实意味和历史痕迹，只有一抹淡远空灵飘浮于烟的高度，还有一分清高，一分落寞，一分不为人知也无意让人知晓的随意与散逸，原始般的单纯和清淡。 芊芊芦苇，在滩涂上扎根，无拘无束；在纤桥旁摇曳，蓬蓬勃勃。从苍翠的湖绿，渐渐化做凝重的墨色，却依旧亭亭玉立，倩影婆娑。即使翻越季节的山峦，静候白霜降临，那满目的芦花与天上的白云融为一体，绵延至月光不能触及的地方，也依旧洁白光泽，充满蓬勃的张力，然后在冰冷的纯洁里面画上生命的句号。 这白发苍苍的芦苇，是樵子柴担上悠然飘起的一缕秋光，是村姑眉宇间挥之不去的一抹苍凉的妩媚。像衣香鬃影的女子涉水而来，从古代，从《诗经》，“蒹葭苍苍，白露为霜”遂成千古绝唱。泅流中，弄篱荡舟的少年水手，采兰撷芷、在水一方的窈窕淑女，映衬着茂密的芦苇，成了三千年文明古国最优美的诗行。 倘若寄身木筏，去溯芦苇之源，那么，你能听到许多滩边涯际拉纤的号子和寨头镇尾浪漫的故事。你也会发现，苍凉凄美的芦花那么轻易就能拨动深藏的沧桑和历史的痛苦。 易水之滨，高渐离击筑，悲凉的旋律中，荆轲告别燕太子丹，踏上刺秦的不归路，他身后的芦花，一定在萧萧寒风中轻扬。乌江之畔，四面楚歌，西楚霸王柔肠寸断，在“虞兮虞兮奈若何”的哀叹声中，虞姬挥动长剑、裙袂飘飘，作最后的生命之舞。在她倒下的地方，雾茫茫，一片绢素，那是一岸的芦花在为这悲怆的诀别飘雪飞霜。汨罗江边，披发行吟的逐臣屈原，掩涕叹息，仰天长问。佞臣专权，楚王昏庸。居庙堂，不能为民解难；谪乡野，不能替君分忧。生命的寂寞郁结于心，奔突于胸，使诗人纵身大江，荡起的涟漪是芦苇悲鸣的泪滴，在湿湿的夜色中流淌。青青的生命的枝叶包裹起千千万万人民的祟敬和思念，投入历史的长河，成为端午节最深沉的纪念。 真正拥有芦苇，是在大学时代。我喜欢在学校后面的江边漫步——那里，茂密的芦苇像无边的绸带，向着远处缓缓铺开。流苏似的芦花，像云，阵阵清香在如纱似雾的月光中弥散。牛乳般的暮霭流动如烟，小鸟在苇丛中呢喃，还有几声蝉鸣，几声虫唱。宁静，温和，洋溢的诗情触手可及。倘是周日，阳光暖暖地流泻，我用苇叶编一只小船，轻轻放人江中，看它悠悠地随风而去。更多的时候，我一卷在握，于芦花下，和屈子同愤，跟太白同醉，与东坡同发少年狂。在绵绵秋雨和茸茸的芦花织成的透明心境中，我读懂了字里行间的辛酸、痛苦、孤独、浓醇、率真和苦涩。人世沧桑和历史悲剧熔铸的惨痛，犹如滴血的利刃，我们的前人

【英语】高考英语阅读理解专项练习及解析

【英语】高考英语阅读理解专项练习及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Money is the root of all evil (邪恶) and new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying. Scientists at the University of California Berkeley, US, announced on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do immoral things, such as lie or cheat, than poorer people. The scientists did a series of eight experiments. They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNA《美国国家科学院院刊》). They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive ears ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving mow modest cars. In another experiment, a group of college students was asked if they would do immoral things in various everyday situations. Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change. Students from higher — class families were more likely to act dishonestly. According to the scientists, rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other people's feelings. Finally, it just makes them greedier. “Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more, and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self- intere st,” said Paul Piff, lead scientist of the study. Piff pointed out that the findings don't mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor people honest. He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts（本能）and values in different ways. （1）By saying “money is the root of all evil”, the author wants to . A. link wealth with bad behavior B. draw readers' attention to the research C. show how the saying proves the findings D. defend rich people who do immoral things （2）According to the scientists, which is NOT the factor that makes rich people immoral? A. They welcome risks. B. They have more desires. C. They believe money talks. D. They become more selfish. （3）Why did the scientists do the experiments? A. To show how social status affects people's morality. B. To show people's instincts and values in different ways. C. To test whether the saying “money is the root of all evil” is true. D. To show the difference between higher - class people and lower - class people. （4）What does the passage really want to show us? A. The poor are respectable. B. Money is the root of all evil. C. All rich people are untrustworthy. D. The rich are more likely to act badly. 【答案】（1）B （2）A
